The girl in the red dress,
she took my breath away:
took my lungs fast,
and with them tore my heart away
Searching through gods, religions, and some dynasty shit
tryna find the one that can answer for this:
burnt flesh, perfect dress
How the fuck'd we come to this?

You could see her teeth melting out her skull
the same teeth that cut the gums just a month before
But...
they say 'walk fearless in the shadow of death'
And...
'those who leave this world can finally rest'
So...
should i hit up that party tonight?
Or...
pray in bed and turn out the lights?

Back when I I I was firing shots
back when I I was connecting dots
back when I survived, against the odds...

I...didn't pay attention in class?
Just forgot so I could make all this suffering last,
and laugh,
when Ma dropped the rolling pin
so she could dance on one foot
in pain again
